What it is

Chocolate liquor is not an alcoholic beverage. It is a paste made from roasted cocoa beans that have been ground into a smooth, liquid form. This paste is the base ingredient for all chocolate products.

Why it's used

Chocolate liquor provides the fundamental chocolate flavor and color in confectionery. It is essential for making solid chocolate bars, as well as being used in baked goods like cookies and cakes, and in beverages like hot chocolate.

Health notes

Chocolate liquor is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It contains compounds like flavanols, which are antioxidants. While moderate consumption of dark chocolate, which contains chocolate liquor, has been linked to potential cardiovascular benefits in some studies, the evidence is mixed and more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products.

Allergen info

Chocolate liquor is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
